Vancouver-based luminaire design studio Archilume has introduced the Alto-Flat. With its strong structural shape, the new offering is akin to Archilume’s classic gem, the Alto. The original finishes at its base with a jewel-like transparent element reminiscent of a craftsman’s cut diamond. Alto-Flat introduces a flattened lens that dramatically changes the outline of the original luminaire. Its unadulterated, simplified suspended conical form speaks to a more minimalist architectural design language.
The conical housing, fashioned from aircraft-grade machined aluminum in anodized finishes, conceals Archilume’s signature application of total internal reflection optics. The hidden LED technology produces a warm glow range from a full brightness of 3000 degrees Kelvin to a dimmable color temperature of 1800 degrees with 95 CRI. The lower portion of the Alto-Flat luminaire is a transparent acrylic lens with a frosted bottom, emitting a flattering, glare-free light. As with the entire lighting line at Archilume, the Alto-Flat features a micro-canopy allowing it to be installed as a soloist or grouped to form a unique choral arrangement of light.
